DESCRIPTION:Speakers: CARRIGAN\, Svenja (Max-Planck-Insitut für Kernphysi
 k\, Heidelberg)\nRecently\, advances in VHE instrumentation have made the 
 discovery of many new\,\npredominantly Galactic\, sources possible. Of the
 se\, a significant number can be\nidentified as pulsar wind nebulae. It ha
 s long been known that pulsars can drive\npowerful winds of highly relativ
 istic particles. These winds end in a termination\nshock from which high-e
 nergy particles with a wide spectrum of energies emerge.\nHigh-energy elec
 trons and positrons among these particles give rise to two components\nof 
 electromagnetic radiation: a low-energy component from synchrotron radiati
 on and a\nhigh-energy component from inverse Compton upscattering of ambie
 nt photons. Details\nof the energy conversion mechanisms in the vicinity o
 f pulsars are not well\nunderstood\, nor is it known if all pulsars drive 
 pulsar wind nebulae and emit\nhigh-energy radiation.\n\nHere we show that 
 for a sample of pulsars in the central Milky Way\, pulsars with\nlarge spi
 n-down energy flux are with high probability associated with VHE gamma-ray
 \nsources. This implies that these pulsars emit on the order of 1% of thei
 r spin-down\nenergy in tera electron\nvolt gamma-ray energies.\n\nhttps://
